OK, so we did probably the world's first ever manual -> auto conversion (don't ask).

And now I have no reverse lights! It has been suggested this is related to the conversion. If so, how do I fix it? I hope it's easy, because females and electricals just do not mix! (though I did put in new brake light bulbs *all by myself* today - woohoo! :D ) I really would like to be able to see the wall behind me as I back into my carspace at home!!

I assume the wiring looms were changed over - The auto has a two pin plug that plugs into the inhibitor switch (big white thingy that sits on the front LH side of the transmission). The plug goes into the forward side - probably isn't plugged in.

NP . . . It's pretty easy to forget to plug everything in.
